Enhancement: Allow for Exceptions to be passed through bestow for special privileges.
Purpose: Allows coded exceptions to be passed through the bestow function properly so that special privileges like the ability to modify prototype flags below the sysdata level can be given to trusted individuals.

act_wiz.c
Function: void do_bestow( CHAR_DATA* ch, const char* argument)
At the top of the function, find:

   bool fComm = FALSE;

Below that, add:

   const char *const bestow_exceptions[] = {
      "protoflag", "caninduct", "canoutcast"
   };

Further down, inside the while loop change it to look like:

   while( arg[0] != '\0' )
   {
      const char *cmd_buf;
      char cmd_tmp[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
      short numExceptions = ( sizeof( bestow_exceptions ) / sizeof( bestow_exceptions[0] ) );
      bool cFound = FALSE, isException = FALSE;


      if( get_trust( ch ) < LEVEL_GREATER )
      {
         for( int count = 0; count < numExceptions; count++ )
         {
            if( !str_cmp( arg, bestow_exceptions[count] ) )
            {
               isException = TRUE;
               break;
            }
         }  
      }
      if( !isException && !( cmd = find_command( arg ) ) )
      {
         ch_printf( ch, "No such command as %s!\r\n", arg );
         argument = one_argument( argument, arg );
         continue;
      }
      else if( !isException && cmd->level > get_trust( ch ) )
      {
         ch_printf( ch, "You can't bestow the %s command!\r\n", arg );
         argument = one_argument( argument, arg );
         continue;
      }
